Hocker then showed them three options, allowing the players to pick how he will wear his hair. The final verdict has made him a hit around the internet, and certainly the laughingstock of Redskins training camp.

“I kind of regret it now,” Hocker said Thursday. “In the moment it was fun, but now I wish I had thought of something funny for the team … I didn’t anticipate this. I got up on the stage, and they put up three pictures for the team to vote on. This was my look. They let me have it, and there I went.”

The hair cut has to stay as is for at least a week, Hocker’s veteran teammates said.

“I really didn’t expect all the hype around it because a lot of rookies get their hair cut, but I guess this is taking it to another level,” Hocker said. “I’m glad everybody’s liking it.”
